Charles Spurgeon Commentary Exodus 3:8

"and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite." — Exodus 3:8 (ASV)

I am sure, brethren and sisters, there have been crises in English history which have been entirely due to the prayers of God's people.

There is more history made in the closet than in the government cabinet.

There is a greater power at the back of the throne than the carnal eye can see, and that power is the cry of God's children.
